Mechanical Gears

Mechanical gears are rotating wheels with teeth that interlock to transmit torque and motion between machine parts. When one gear turns, its teeth push against another gear’s teeth, causing the second gear to rotate. This interaction allows for changing the direction of movement, increasing torque, or adjusting speed. Gears are fundamental components in devices like clocks, vehicles, and industrial machinery, enabling efficient transfer of power and precise control over mechanical operations. Their design and arrangement determine how movement and force are distributed within a mechanical system.
